Fire.

--The alarm of fire about half-past 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon proceeded from the partial burning of the building occupied by Mr. Moore as a planing factory, on Broad street, near Brooke avenue. The fire originated in the upper story, and was arrested after destroying the roof. The furniture in the upper part of the house was mostly burnt up. A very ancient bureau, in which was $1,500, was partly consumed, but the money was unharmed. The origin of the fire is supposed to be purely accidental.
